Amazing and Unique BridgesAmazing and Unique Bridges
Pedestrian Bridge, Texas
This beautiful arched bridge in Lake Austin was a private build by Miro Rivera Architects and is used to connect the client's main house to the smaller guest house on the other side of the water. The idea was to make the bridge seem as natural as possible within its surroundings and to do this they made the decking and reed-like hand rails as imperfect as possible. The result is a bridge that looks extremely fragile but definitely worth the risk.
Octavio Frias de Oliveira Bridge, Sao Paulo, Brazil
Opened in May of this year, the Octavio Frias de Oliveira Bridge is a stunning x-shaped cable-stayed bridge that crosses thePinheiros River in Sao Paulo. It's design is unique in that the 2 curved decks of the bridge cross each other through its x-shaped supporting tower, an illuminated structure that stands 450ft tall and has attached to it 144 steel cables.
Kintaikyo, Iwakuni, Japan
The original Kintai Bridge was built in 1673 and didn't stand very long until it was damaged due to flooding. It was then rebuilt and survived for more than 200 years until a typhoon battered it to death in 1950. The bridge that stands now over the Nishiki Riveris the 3rd build and looks magnificent, it's 5 wooden arches displaying an incredible amount of detail and craftmanship. Interesting fact: no nails or bolts have been used to build the arches, only clamps and wires.
Juscelino Kubitschek Bridge, Brasilia, Brazil
The JK Bridge in Brasilia is a lesson in elegant bridge design. The 3 huge arches diagonally hopping over the deck of the bridge give the structure an amazing visual fluidity and make the whole 1.2km bridge look effortlessly cool. Since being built the bridge has won awards for its design but is still massively underappreciated on a wider scale.
Rolling Bridge, London, UK
Thomas heatherwick' s award-winning rolling bridge is an ingenious addition to the grand union canal system in London and is unique in its design. Unlike regular movable canal bridges, the rolling bridge curls up on itself to form an octagon by way of hydraulics. It's an amazing sight and a reminder that a fresh perspective can produce great, innovative results, even when dealing with a structure as common as a bridge.
Beipanjiang River Railroad Bridge, Guizhou, China
Beipanjiang River Railroad Bridge in Guizhou is an enormous railway bridge that was built as part of the much larger 'Guizhou-Shuibai Railway Project'. Connecting 2 mountains over a deep ravine, at its highest point the bridge's deck sits 918ft above the ground (to compare, at its highest point the Millau viaduct's deck clears the river underneath by 890ft). The bridge has succeeded in connecting 2 of the country's poorest areas.
Henderson Waves, Southern Ridges, Singapore
'Henderson Waves' is Wingapore's highest pedestrian bridge and can be found at the southern ridges, a beautiful 9km stretch of gardens and parks which has frequently drawn comparisons to New York's Central Park. The bridge itself is absolutely stunning. The deck is made from thousands of Balau wood slats, perfectly cut and arranged, and along the length of the deck a huge snaking, undulating shell cleverly forms sheltered seating areas on every upward curve.
Pont Gustave Flaubert, Rouen, France
This is the incredible, brand new vertical lift bridge in Rouen, France, a beast of a structure whose 2 bridge spans weigh 1200tons each but can be hoisted 180ft vertically by the bridge's lifting mechanism in an impressive 12 minutes. Just the angular structures at the top of each tower weigh in at 450tons each, helping to support the lifting system as cruise ships sail through.
Hegigio Gorge Pipeline Bridge, Southern Highlands Province, Papua New Guinea
Technically, this is a bridge: it's a structure which spans a gorge. The only difference is, the bridge can't be used by humans due to the fact that its purpose is to support 2 pipelines - 1 gas, 1 oil - across the extremely high gap in Papua New Guinea. So high in fact that if this were to be officially recognised as a bridge it would rocket to the top of the 'world's highest bridge-span' list at an impressive height of 1290ft. By comparison, the current highest bridge span belongs to the Royal Gorge Bridge in Colorado, hanging a mere 1053ft above ground level, while Manhattan's Chrysler Building measures 1047ft.

The majority of people surveyed across Sussex believe David Cameron will remain as Prime Minister after May's General Election.
According to research conducted by the West Sussex County Times around three quarters of people in the Chichester, Worthing and Eastbourne areas thought Mr Cameron would keep the top job, a figure that was closer to two thirds (65 per cent) in Hastings.
He was also the top choice for PM in all four areas, with only Hastings picking Labour leader Ed Miliband second. In the other three areas UKIP's Nigel Farage was the second choice.
Liberal Democrat Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg was neck and neck with the Green Party's Natalie Bennett, apart from Hastings where she outscored Mr Clegg by 16 to three per cent.
While the majority believed Mr Cameron would remain as PM after May, just 28 per cent of those in Hastings expected Mr Miliband to take the country's top job, a higher figure than in Chichester (19 per cent), Worthing (21 per cent), and Eastbourne (20 per cent).
One per cent of respondents thought Mr Clegg would be PM in Chichester, Eastbourne, and zero per cent in Worthing and Hastings.
Asked what issues would have the most bearing on how they voted, health policy came top in all four areas.
The second choice was immigration policy in Hastings, Worthing, and Eastbourne, immigration policy and approach to Europe and the EU in Chichester.
The surveys had 324 responses in Hastings, 296 in Eastbourne, 203 in Chichester, and 295 in Worthing.

Southeast Alaska Charter Fishing Vessel Alaska Nature Pinterest in Alaska Fishing Boot, image source: www.pinterest.com
In case you wish to fish and enjoy the relaxing experience that comes from it, you probably know about largemouth bass fishing. If so, you also know that, even though bass have the reputation of being quite the fighter when trapped, the thrill of first looking forward to the strike and then hooking a largemouth bass causes a chemical effect within the body that creates a somewhat euphoric feeling. This all by itself makes the experience well worth the effort.
In fishing, each person has his own opinion, in most cases these thoughts range from source to location. There are some bass fishing lures and baits which can be much suggested for bass fishing because they could be very useful if you haven't tried out them. An example is the 7 inch colored Tequila worms with additional scent are recommended, and also Rebel wee-Rs. Hellgrammites are touted as the best of them all live baits, many people are of the thoughts and opinions that you don't necessarily require big baits to draw big transitoire. Most people will advice you to tie up to a bank, or locate a dock to get closer, but then this is an art that cost you many years to perfect.
Largemouth bass fishing is indeed a great sport, but your success in fishing generally will depend on volume of things that you have to learn this elusive species of fish. Let's explore some of these.

This past weekend, two generous and talented friends came over to help make one of our dreams into a reality. One of our urban homesteading dreams, that is. We are SO blessed to have friends who care about our desires to produce our own food and set a small, but to us important, example of what it means to live (or at least eat) off the land in a small town where we hope more and more food is being grown. We are hoping to gently influence some of our East Bay/Piedmont and Oakland neighbors to perhaps carve out a few feet of space to grow some herbs, maybe even some kale (of course KALE), if they haven't already. The anticipation and anxious feelings surrounding growing our own food is so exciting.
My father-in-law said something a few weeks ago that keeps sticking out in my head. He said that we as American's, and the way our society and culture dictates change, seems to be driven by emergency situations. To that point, just because there isn't a war, i.e. World War II, doesn't mean we shouldn't be trying to develop our own ways of being self-sufficient. This is where the concept of the Victory Garden popped into my head. Taking any space that you have, even if it's in the form of pots in the windowsill of your studio apartment, or on the kitchen table. Historically, the Victory Garden was supposed to boost morale and empower all citizens to take advantage of their own backyard resources, supporting themselves and the war effort by growing food, raise certain animals and live off of the land, to a certain degree (or even pots or planter boxes). For more information on what's going on in places like Oakland in regards to urban farming and Victory Gardening, there is a lot to thumb through at The Victory Garden Foundations' website, and this amazing website. I found this through catching up with works by artist Amy Franchescini, whom I saw at the SFMOMA and who has been honored for the SECA award in the past. TRULY innovative and artistic eco-creative stuff, but I digress a bit.
Blog title item #1: BOXES. We now have one of two planter boxes built and ready for sealing, concrete laying (we have to with our webs of redwood root-age. No wonder redwood trees are so resilient, large, ancient and amazing. Their roots go EVERYWHERE!) and planting. I think we need starters (not seeds) and will go for tomatoes, carrots, LOTS of greens (lettuces, kale, chard, kale and more kale) and maybe try our hand at some blueberries under the redwood trees. Apparently they like acidic soil. SO many possibilities! But we did get the Sunset Western Garden Book, which is basically a bible to grow anything. I have also heard that Golden Gate Gardening is a must buy for growing food and any plants in the San Francisco Bay Area, since our climate is so diverse (and amazing – no bias here).
We were fortunate to have great friends helping us out, who knew how to deal with dimension, measurements very accurately…and had the tools. Scotty and Tim are really talented people.
On to the topic of black beans. I found a recipe in a magazine that I usually toss aside (I won't say which one…but I have narrowed my view since I started subscribing to Whole Living, which I love). The night of the box building, we were having friends over for dinner. I haven't done too much with any regional South American themed recipes, and I still have so much to experiment with and learn. This recipe was one of those you look at with uncertainty, with about 50 kagillion ingredients that you know you probably don't have in your pantry. But…I decided to take it on and give it a makeover. The recipe was for pork and plantain enchiladas with black bean puree. I had black beans already, and a good amount of ingredients it called for, but wanted to make it a bit more simple…and vegetarian. So, from this recipe, I just dropped a few things and, even though it was still a bit complicated (sort of like Thanksgiving in a dish, with multiple components to coordinate at once), I still had a lot of fun doing it.
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 chopped yellow onions, divided
- 1 2/3 cups organic chicken or vegetable broth, divided
- 6 tomatillos, husked, rinsed, and coarsely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped and divided
- 1 serrano chile, seeded and thinly sliced
- 1 cup cilantro leaves (plus more for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 2 (15-ounce) cans organic black beans, rinsed and drained (Eden Organics brand does not have BPA lining in the cans – that's a GOOD thing). Or you can cook your own beans (soak and sprout) which ups their nutritional value. I didn't have time this week.
- 2 tablespoons of raw honey
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 soft sweet, ripe plantains, peeled and coarsely chopped
- Olive oil
- 12 (6-inch) corn tortillas (try to get as "clean" as you can. Many seemingly pure corn tortillas usually have lots of other additives in there.
- 4 cups cooked brown rice
- Sour cream or "crema," which is basically cream that some South American cuisine's use for garnishing. I added a little honey to make it sweet to complement the plantains
- For tomatillo sauce: combine 1 choppped onion, 1 cup broth, tomatillos, 1 garlic clove, and serrano in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes or until tomatillos are tender. Cool for 10 minutes. Combine tomatillo mixture, cilantro, lime juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a blender; process until smooth. Pour into a large measuring cup.
- For Black Bean Puree: Place skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add the remaining onion; cook for 3 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently. Add remaining garlic clove; cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Add remaining 2/3 cup broth, and cook for 1 minute, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Add black beans; cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Cool slightly. Place black bean mixture in blender. Pulse 15 times, scraping occasionally until mixture is a thick puree.
- For Plantains: Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoon oil to pan; swirl to coat. Combine 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, honey, and plantains in a medium bowl, tossing to coat plantain. Add plantain mixture to pan; sautée for 3 minutes or until golden brown, stirring frequently. Cool slightly; finely chop.
- ASSEMBLY TIME: Next, I heated the corn tortilla's slightly in the oven to soften them up, and then keep them warm. I put out a buffet of all ingredients for everyone to pile onto their tortilla's, like soft tacos (including the brown rice, plantains, tomatillo sauce, black bean puree, crema, and garnish with more cilantro.
To accompany? Friends Ryan and Liz (Liz is a culinary student, and amazing cook, in Napa, so it was fun to get her input on the meal) brought fixings for blood orange margarita's. I love them…and not just for their creative booze concoctions. ; )
And that was our weekend. Fun times, good friends, great food and the pursuit of happiness through planter box building. EMBRACE URBAN FARMING and stay tuned for more on our journey towards home-grown kale and farm fresh eggs.

RALEIGH, N.C. — Dead men tell no tales, but there's new evidence that somebody aboard the pirate Blackbeard's flagship harbored books among the booty.
In an unusual find, researchers have discovered shreds of paper bearing legible printing that somehow survived three centuries underwater on the sunken vessel. And after more than a year of research that ranged as far as Scotland, they managed to identify them as fragments of a book about nautical voyages published in the early 1700s.
Conservators for Blackbeard's ship the Queen Anne's Revenge found the 16 fragments of paper wedged inside the chamber for a breech-loading cannon, with the largest piece being the size of a quarter.
The Queen Anne's Revenge had been a French slave ship when Blackbeard captured it in 1717 and renamed it. The vessel ran aground in Beaufort, in what was then the colony of North Carolina, in June 1718. Volunteers with the Royal Navy killed Blackbeard in Ocracoke Inlet that same year.
Tens of thousands of artifacts have been recovered since Florida-based research firm Intersal Inc. located the shipwreck off the North Carolina coast in 1996 but few, if any, are as surprising as pieces of paper. To find paper in a 300-year-old shipwreck in warm waters is "almost unheard of," said Erik Farrell, a conservator at the QAR Conservation Lab in Greenville.
Eventually, the conservators determined that the words "south" and "fathom" were in the text, suggesting a maritime or navigational book. But one word, Hilo, stood out because it was both capitalized and in italics, said Kimberly Kenyon, also a conservator at the lab.
They turned to Johanna Green, a specialist in the history of printed text at the University of Glasgow, who pointed them to the Spanish settlement of Ilo — or Hilo — on the coast of Peru. The fragments eventually were determined to be from a 1712 first edition of a book by Capt. Edward Cooke titled "A Voyage to the South Seas, and Round the World, Peform'd in the years 1708, 1709, 1710 and 1711."
It's impossible to say who aboard Blackbeard's ship would have been reading the voyage narrative — a form popular in England in the 17th and 18th century — or whether it belonged to a pirate or some terrified captive. But some pirates were known to be literate, Kenyon said.
For example, Stede Bonnett, the "gentleman pirate" who joined Blackbeard in 1717, had his own library. It's not known if he brought his books on the Queen Anne's Revenge.
A history of pirates written in 1724 mentions a journal belonging to Blackbeard that was taken when he was killed. And when Blackbeard captured a ship called the Margaret in December 1717, the list of items taken from the ship included books, Farrell said.
"They were literate men," Kenyon said. "People always assume pirates are ruffians from bad backgrounds, and that wasn't always the case."
The survival of the paper fragments is perhaps even more unusual than their existence aboard the pirate vessel.
The chamber in which they were found was a separate piece of a breech-loading swivel gun that was likely kept on the top deck because it was used as an anti-personnel weapon, Farrell said. Conservators don't have the cannon itself, which likely was salvaged or stolen when the Queen Anne's Revenge ran aground. In cannons of that period, "wadding" material such as cloth or paper would usually be stuffed behind a cannonball. So it's also possible someone just tore up the book without reading it to use it for firepower.

Clark Participates in Largest Ever DCBIA Community Improvement Day
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Clark employees and subcontractors donated their time to help transform the Dwight A. Mosley Sports Complex in northeast Washington, D.C.
Working in partnership with the District of Columbia Building Association (DCBIA) and hundreds of other local volunteers, the team tackled the extensive rehabilitation project.
Clark employees performed preliminary tasks in advance of the annual volunteer day including demolishing the existing playground, removing 50 cubic yards of existing mulch and sod, and pouring over 100 footings. Volunteers also dug underground utility pits for water, electric, and irrigation.
On September 27, over 50 Clark employees joined the more than 800 volunteers from the industry to complete the final improvements of the park.
Clark is a long-time partner of the DCBIA and has participated in the Community Improvement Day, rehabilitating parks and recreation centers across Washington, D.C., for a number of years.

Marcela Acuña faces Yesica Marcos with more than revenge in sight
By Diego Morilla
BUENOS AIRES – This week, the legendary Bernard Hopkins will finally retire at age 51, stretching his career to an unprecedented 28 years, but he may have some serious competition in the female counterpart of his line of work if Argentine boxing pioneer
Marcela Acuña manages to defeat Yesica Marcos in a rematch this coming Friday with the vacant IBF super bantamweight title on the line and then continues to do what she has done so far: continue challenging stereotypes and finding new challenges in boxing.
Acuña's motivations to continue fighting at the age of 40 are not hard to find.
"Fights like this one," she quips, when asked about what keeps her going after so many years. "I motivate myself, and what motivates me the most is a challenge. And what better challenge at this stage in my career than to face Yesica Marcos again? The only way in which I can keep going after all of these years, after all of these titles and achievements, is to stay motivated with fights like this one."
Acuña (44-6-1, 18 KO) fought Marcos to a dubious (more like a scandalously unfair) draw back in January of 2013, but true to her nature as Argentine female boxing's elder stateswoman, she never held a grudge towards the still (technically) unbeaten Marcos (27-0-2, 9 KO), a wildly popular fighter in her native Mendoza, a hotbed of boxing in the country. In fact, they appeared to be enjoying themselves during the weigh-in, in which it was hard to tell who was the older of the two given their spectacular shape.
Acuña's age, though, showed in her face, in the sleepless, pale tone of her skin, and for a good reason.
"There are a lot of expectations because Ramon has never been away from my corner, especially in such an important fight," said Acuña, about the absence of her husband and trainer Ramon Chaparro, who was hospitalized on Tuesday with signs of food poisoning. "But anyway, we're professionals and we have a great team for a lot of years. And naturally, his presence will be felt more than his absence."
Chaparro's presence, however, was visible during Acuña's two victories this year (both unanimous decision wins over Mayra Gómez and Brenda Carabajal, and his tireless dedication will likely show during Friday's bout.
"I will do my usual plan, I will try to demonstrate that I am technically superior, and to try to counteract with her strengths, which is her aggression and her right hands, especially those crosses and uppercuts she throws so well," said Acuña, who in spite of all of her previous achievements will be fighting for an IBF title belt for the first time in her career. "I will try to respond to that. I have worked a lot on my speed too. You know how it is, you can make a lot of plans in the gym but then in the ring some things happen and others don't. The idea is to have all of those things work."
Things do not always work as expected for Acuña. After chaining herself to the door of the local federation in order to get her license (which ended up being the very first ever issued for a female professional prizefighter in the country), Acuña got more than what she bargained for when she was matched with no less than female boxing's first superstar in Christy Martin in her very debut, only to follow up with a loss at the hands of the fearsome Lucia Rijker. Just like Hopkins, Acuña began her career with a loss – and then some.
For all of that, no one can claim that she took the easy road, ever. But at the age of 40, staying motivated should be hard enough for anyone. But not for Acuña, who still exudes enthusiasm in every word that she speaks about boxing, with the loquacity of a true ambassador of the sport.
"It's pretty hard, because I can only challenge myself right now," said Acuña about what keeps her going for more after 23 title fights in 51 career bouts. "I challenge the very passing of time. I challenge my younger opponents. This is not the case with Yesica, because against her I have a different motivation, like the rematch after such a controversial result and the challenge of facing a superbly fit fighter like her. But to continue in this is to challenge myself to keep doing it every day."
Already considered as "Lady Firpo" for holding the license number 001 in her field just like the Wild Bull of the Pampas did it in his time, Acuña has her work cut out for her if she is serious about becoming "Lady Hopkins" one day.
But as time has proven, it would be unwise to count her out in that fight just yet.
Marcos: "I added a new country to my fan base"
After years of being a prophet in her own land, Yesica Marcos is on a quest to become a prophet in her other land.
After years of fighting in front of huge adoring crowds in her hometown of San Martin, in the boxing-crazy province of Mendoza, the former WBO-WBA gears up for a potential career-defining fight against Acuña with a new audience in mind as well.
"I am ready for tomorrow. I have prepared well and consciously. I remember that the first fight was a great fight and today we're going to have another great fight too," said Marcos, who now fights out of Santiago, Chile, under the orders of Claudio Pardo.
"I know that I still have the support of all my people in Mendoza, and now in Chile, where I live," said Marcos, whose father is Chilean. "I added a new country to my fan base, because they support me fully. My heart is on both sides of the Andes."
Marcos is still unbeaten, but her draw against Acuña is the biggest asterisk in an otherwise very strong resume, and she probably has some adjustments in mind to get the nod this time. But true to her laconic nature, she politely refuses to reveal her plans.
"After the fight I could tell you what I did differently," smirks the 30-years old Marcos. But right now I am just waiting anxiously the fight. Whatever comes, I will be ready."
In the undercard, the always entertaining Paola Benavidez (6-2-1) will be facing the feisty Cintia Gonzalez (3-3) in a scheduled six-rounder.
The card will be televised by TyC Sports and TyC Sports Play online.

Las Vegas Plastic Surgeons Offer Two Approaches to Fat Reduction
CoolSculpting® and liposuction give Drs. Hankins and Sohn's Las Vegas plastic surgery patients two effective ways to reduce stubborn fat.
Las Vegas, NV – Dr. W. Tracy Hankins and Dr. Samuel Sohn, both board-certified plastic surgeons in Las Vegas, run their practice with a philosophy focused on "patient safety, world-class results, and compassionate care." Hankins & Sohn Plastic Surgery, their private practice, offers two approaches to fat reduction – CoolSculpting® and liposuction – in order to ensure each procedure addresses the unique wants and needs of every patient.
CoolSculpting® targets isolated fat deposits that are resistant to traditional forms of weight loss. According to Drs. Hankins and Sohn, the ideal candidates for CoolSculpting® are patients who are close to their ideal weight, but who also have a few problematic areas that are not always treatable through diet and exercise alone. Very active or very busy individuals stand to benefit from this method of fat reduction because CoolSculpting® is a nonsurgical technique.
Liposuction candidates, in contrast, typically may have more overall body fat, or fat distributions in areas of the body the CoolSculpting® machine cannot readily access, such as the outer thigh and upper arm. Liposuction typically yields a more significant change to the patient's figure, as Dr. Hankins and Dr. Sohn can safely remove body fat while contouring the body. Additionally, they offer several types of liposuction to their Las Vegas plastic surgery patients, including:
- Traditional tumescent liposuction
- Laser liposuction
- Ultrasonic liposuction
While liposuction and CoolSculpting® both accomplish similar goals, they differ somewhat in regard to the end results and associated downtimes. The Las Vegas plastic surgeons say Coolsculpting® is nonsurgical with no downtime and minimal discomfort; whereas liposuction is a more invasive procedure with a longer recovery, but generally yields a greater overall result. Both CoolSculpting® and liposuction have distinct advantages, and during the consultation process with their Las Vegas plastic surgery patients, Drs. Hankins and Sohn discuss which particular approach to fat reduction best meets each individual's goals.
About W. Tracy Hankins, MD
A graduate of Indiana University Medical School, Dr. W. Tracy Hankins is a board-certified plastic surgeon in Las Vegas, NV. He is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, as well as former Chief of Plastic Surgery at Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center. Dr. Hankins is well versed in a comprehensive array of plastic surgery procedures ranging from breast augmentation to BOTOX® injectables. He is available for interview upon request.

He is a graduate of Stanford University and earned his medical degree from the Medical College of Virginia/Virginia Commonwealth University.

'Late At Night' from Alanna Gurr and The Greatest State - an album of pure delight(April 21, 2014)
Has the day delivered a hard time, is the tension too much, need to unwind? Then slide softly into the gentle embrace of 'Late At Night' from Alanna Gurr and The Greatest State – an album to ease away the stress and take you to those deep, thoughtful places you've always wanted to go. From the warm richness of Alana's whispered, honey vocals through the gentle tales the songs convey to the intricate web of luscious instrumentation this album is a pure delight.
For me, the standout tracks on this sumptuous piece of Canadiana folk-rock are the yielding-toned 'Swimmer', the mouth-watering melody and delicious vocals of 'By My Side', the personal exploration of 'It's Been A Long Time' and the best for anyone's money 'Golden Coast' simply hits the spot. The expression and depth of feeling on 'Late At Night' is potent enough to touch ... and you really should.
Alongside Alanna on 'Late At Night' lie the skills of The Greatest State: Joseph Gallo Jr. (bass) Micheal De Paola (drums) and Matt Moonigan (pedal steel, guitar, vocals) with support across various tracks from Gordon Auld (vocals) Daniel Romano (organ, guitar, vocals) Ian Romano (drums) Jessey Bell Smith and Raven Shields (vocals).

New to surfing but I'm confused on the right volume/board to get as a beginner
I checked out the wavestorm board at:http://www.wavestormboards.com/product/80-classic-longboard-2016-anniversary-edition-cp-11/
Its volume is 86L and can support 200 lbs
http://www.wavestormboards.com/product/ ... longboard/
Volume is 98L and can support 250lbs
Volume is 72.9L and can support 180lbs
Volume is 92.4L and can support 225-250lbs
So this is where it gets weird:
https://www.rei.com/product/105390/bic- ... fboard-8-4
Volume is 72L but can support 220lbs???
https://www.rei.com/product/105412/bic- ... fboard-9-4
Volume is 78L and can support 231LBs??
Fire wire's longest board is http://shop.firewiresurfboards.com/coll ... -martinson
Volume is 86L ...
So going by the foamies at 210 lbs i'm to heavy for any of the firewire surf boards but using BIC's measurements i should be ok? I had the Wavestorm 8 but i was to heavy for the board as i couldn't stay on and couldn't catch anything. I got the eden 9inch from greco and can stay on and catch waves but the board is so delicate the slightest tap and the board tears. Looking for something more solid like a BIC or firewire but no idea what to get as the volume to rider weight is different?

Today I read a wonderful piece of "Ponderings" by a fellow Googleplusian, James Mayes. I requested that I post it here for my Reeders, and he was kind enough to oblige. I pasted it exactly how his comment was posted.
Thanks James!
Good morning beautiful people! I'm about to head off to work, but first, I have a little philosophical question for all you brainiacs out there. (And for those who wish you were.)
Have you ever wished you were smarter? I don't mean as in, taking the Bar exam and passing without ever studying type of smart, but just smarter in general on certain levels you find interesting. Mental depth perception I call it. (Yes, I know there is no such thing. I made it up, but it seemed to fit along the lines of what I am trying to say.) An understanding of things in the world, or even simply the world around you, in a three dimensional display. Understanding things you've always been interested in but were never good at.
Language, for example. I wish I could learn all the main languages of the world, but I simply don't have the mental capacity to do it. I tried learning German once, and it turned into Germish. I tried to learn Japanese once, and it turned into Englisnese. I could not grasp the concept of the language, no matter how hard I tried. For years, I worked with people who spoke Spanish, and I learned enough to communicate, but I could never understand them when they spoke to one another. I'd say it is going to be mucho caliente este dia, and even though it was wrong, they would know I was saying it was going to be hot today.
I think the human mind is fascinating. One person will have the perception to see something clearly and another person will not. I can see a movie one time, and remember every single part of that movie, the punch lines, the plot, what will happen and when. My wife can't, though. She'll remember it as it goes along, but not before. However, she is exceptionally good at recalling dates and names of people on a family tree. It doesn't even have to be her family tree. She can do some research for a few days and read the information once, and a year later you can ask her about a certain part of a family. She'll tell you who married who, when, how many children they had, their birthdays, who they married, when they died, where they are buried, etc. Me? I see a jumbled mess of numbers and people I don't know, all piled up with no specific order when she talks about it.
Oh. Nancy married Bob, right?
What? No. Nancy and Bob lived a hundred years apart.
I'm not saying I want to do that, I just think it is interesting how one person can do it and another person cannot.
Last night, I was trying to read and understand an article a friend posted about a situation we were discussing. While I did understand the overall concept of the article, and could see how it related to the discussion, my mind simply could not grasp the overall meaning in those pages. And today, I can't even remember the title or the main subject. But I found the subject interesting and I wanted to understand and learn about this particular type of cultural enigma, but my mind would not see anything but the general outline of it. It would not color in the picture. The mental depth perception didn't accumulate inside my head.
So, anyway, this morning I woke up with this rare, broad perspective look at things. I wished I could see things in whole that were of interest to me. Have any of you ever experienced this? Wishing you were smarter on certain types of subject matter that are of interest to you, but can never fully grasp? It is frustrating, isn't it? I'd love to hear how any of you overcame this "blockage" the keeps those things from coming out clearly. I keep seeing things right on the tip of my thoughts, and at times I feel like I'm teetering between understanding and not understanding, but can never push that though over the edge and have my eyes open to the full knowledge of it.
I need a pill like in that movie Limitless.
Bah! I'm about to be late for work. Cya'll this afternoon folks! Be good. (or not)

Combining the Asian method of steaming in a bamboo basket with a stuffing infused with North African spices, a new dish is born!
A whole buttercup is stuffed with the combination of chicken and prawn mince, along with sautéed shallots and porcini mushrooms in an exotic mix of ras el hanoult spices and a splash of Sauvignon blanc. It is then steamed, allowing the flavourful juices and spices to mingle and permeate the soft, sweet flesh of the buttercup.
Doesn't it look majestic with its beautiful crown? I can imagine this to be a unique centerpiece for a special meal shared with family and friends!

While we at SNES Hub love to look back on the good old days of the Super Nintendo, it's interesting to remember that video game nostalgia was alive and well even during the 16-bit era. Towards the end of the SNES's lifetime, many ports of classic arcade games from the early to mid 80's began appearing for the system. These ports came in the form of individual releases, like Frogger and compilations like Williams Arcade's Greatest Hits. At their best, these games would feature additions and enhancements to the original arcade classic. At their worst, these ports would feel barebones and unworthy of being played on a 16-bit machine.
Arkanoid: Doh it Again was an enhanced port of the 1986 arcade original, Arkanoid. Developed by Taito and released in 1997, chances are you missed this game's original release, since most SNES owners had already moved on to an N64 or PlayStation by then. Is this arcade port worth tracking down or is it best left forgotten? Read on to find out!
Surprisingly, Arkanoid: Doh it Again does have an in-game story. The game follows the adventures of a spaceship looking to find new inhabitable planets. These spacefarers are constantly being thwarted by Doh, a malevolent Easter Island Moai head. So while there's technically a story, it's all rather silly. Since the game is all about arcade-style action, the ridiculousness of the story is easily forgivable and actually adds a little to its charm. But how does it play?
The original Arkanoid is a clone of Atari's classic Breakout, which is itself a variant of Pong. At its core, Breakout involves moving a paddle left and right along the bottom of the screen to bounce a ball towards patterns of colored bricks along the top of the screen. These bricks break on contact with the ball and once all of the bricks are cleared you can move on to the next level. Arkanoid adds some twists to this basic formula, by adding a variety of power-ups such as elongated paddles and paddle-mounted lasers. One power-up even let's you skip a level entirely! The game also features a variety of critters floating around the play field that can both help and harm you. For example, some critters will teleport your ball to another location.
Arkanoid: Doh it Again features several enhancements over the arcade original, including a wealth of additional content and features. First and foremost, the game has 99 levels, three times as many as the original arcade game. Every 10 levels or so there is a boss encounter, which keeps the game fresh and exciting. There's also a password feature to allow you to continue your progress; a must for a game with so many stages.
Better still the game features several two-player options. The first mode is a fairly pedestrian; two-player alternating version of the arcade game. While this isn't bad, I don't know why anyone would bother with it considering that the game also features a simultaneous co-op mode. Lastly, there is also a head-to-head versus mode, which challenges players to clear the stage faster, or survive longer, than their opponent. Both the co-operative and competitive modes are a lot of fun and really add to the game.
The last significant addition to Arkanoid: Doh it Again is a full level editor! Creating and playing your own levels is a blast. The only problem is that there is no way to save any of your levels, so best enjoy them while you can.
The controls are both simple and streamlined. Using the standard SNES controller, you can move your paddle left or right with the D-pad and increase your paddle movement speed by holding down a button. You can also tweak the paddle's default speed in the options menu. This setup works surprisingly well and is more than adequate to tackle the challenges Arkanoid throws at you. Taito also included the option of controlling the game using the SNES mouse. The mouse works even better than the standard controller and gives more nuanced and precise control. Whatever control method you choose, Arkanoid: Doh it Again offers a smooth, responsive experience.
The standard in-game graphics are bright and colorful, but very simplistic. They get the job done but are nothing special, especially for a 1997 SNES release. The boss battles however are quite impressive. Some bosses even feature awesome scaling and rotation effects. The game also sports a cool Mode 7 intro and some great looking cut scenes. Overall, the game fares quite well graphically.
On the audio front, Arkanoid is a slight disappointment. A high-energy jingle plays before each stage, but that's all the music you'll get for the regular stages. Boss levels do feature full background music, but nothing particularly memorable. Sound effects consist of your typical mid '80s arcade bleeps and bloops. Strangely, I find the sound effects give a bit of a therapeutic quality to the gameplay and actually sound quite pleasing. While this doesn't quite make up for the lack of music, it does save the game from being a total letdown in the audio department.
Bottom Line
Arkanoid: Doh it Again is the best early to mid 1980s arcade port on the SNES. In 1997, Taito would have been forgiven for phoning it in with this one, as most gamers had moved on to the N64 and PlayStation. Instead, they went the extra mile by adding fantastic extras like two-player co-operative and competitive modes, a full level editor and three times as many levels as the original arcade game. Arkanoid: Doh it Again features hours of fun at a very affordable price. Highly recommended.
Four Stars.

Doctor's ADVICE:Escaping my stalker 'boyfriend'
Q: Doc, I am being pursued by a guy. I am a student, aged 18, and he is a couple of years older than me. We met at a dance six months ago, and he offered to walk me home afterwards. When we got back to my parents' front gate, we had a little kiss and cuddle, but that was all. I certainly did not want it to go any further. So I was amazed when next day he turned up at my house, and announced that he had come to take me out. I didn't really want to go, but I went along with him, just to be polite. When we parted, he kissed me again - and then said, 'See you tomorrow, darling.' This went on for several weeks. Everyday, he arrived and said he had come to see me. I did not want to be impolite, so I let him kiss and hug me quite a lot. My parents, who are rather snobbish, did not like him much, particularly when he started calling himself my 'boyfriend'. Soon, he began talking about 'When we are married ...' and stuff like that. I tried to explain to him that I had no intention of marrying him, but he just did not listen. Two months back, I decided that maybe he just wanted to have sex with me, and that he would go away. So one night, I let him take my clothes off and have intercourse with me. Frankly, I did not enjoy it very much, Doc. I suppose it was OK. I made the mistake of climaxing loudly, which unfortunately had the effect of making him feel that I thought he was wonderful. Next day, I told him that I didn't want to see him anymore. But he just paid me no mind. He regularly arrived at my place at inconvenient moments. And he kept on calling me, and sending me texts. My parents were starting to get mad at this. I made the crazy error of letting him have sex with me a couple more times, just to kind of placate him, but it was pretty awful. However, he thought it was 'awesome'. Then he began sending me bouquets of flowers at college. And he arranged for lots of presents to be delivered to my home. After that, I discovered that he was going around describing me as his fiancée! This was the last straw, doctor. I told him that this foolishness was all over. My father threatened him, and hinted that if he tried to come back on the premises, there might be an 'armed response'. But guess what? He just carried on. Every time I go into Kingston, I find that he is hiding behind buildings or cars, and jumping out at me! He throws his arms around me and kisses me, even though I do not respond. And now a friend tells me that he has been to a church and tried to book a date for our wedding, later this year! And apparently, he has been making enquiries about buying a bridal gown and a wedding cake. Please help me. What can I do? I am desperate.
A: Well, the first thing to say is that on no account should you have sex with him again. Indeed, do not let him hug you or kiss you. Next time he 'jumps out' on you, scream loudly for help.
As you probably realise, this guy is what they call a stalker. Stalkers are nearly always mentally disturbed. Some of them are actually psychotic - in other words, mad. They often think that fate has ordained that they should be 'eternally linked' with the targeted person. When the 'beloved' tells them to get lost, they just don't register what is being said to them.
Technically, it would be possible for your stalker to have psychiatric treatment. But the therapy would take a very long time. Also, there is not the slightest chance that he would agree to having it!
I think it is high time that you told the police about this guy. But there is a problem. He probably hasn't committed any actual criminal offence. So they may feel that nothing can be done at the moment. But at least they can open a file on the case, and (I hope) also to let him know that they are aware of what he is doing.
You too should make a file, in which you keep all letters and notes from him. It may prove useful later on. Also, I think that you and your parents should go to a good lawyer, and ask him or her to take on this case. It may eventually be necessary to get a legal injunction to forbid this crazy young man from coming anywhere near you.
Finally, I feel that your father and mother should see if they can send you abroad for a year or so. At all costs, make sure that no one gives this stalker your address or phone number!
Concerned about my sperm
Q: I am deeply concerned about my sperm, Doc. I am a guy aged 18. Sometimes I have three or more orgasms for an evening. But often, the last one produces no fluid at all. Is this serious, Doc?
A: No, it isn't. This is called a 'dry orgasm'. It is what normally happens when a guy has used up all the seminal fluid that is available that day. So quit fretting.
Night of passion
Q: Doctor, I am terrified that I might be with child. My doctor put me on the Pill this month. Six days after starting it, I allowed a handsome guy to take me to bed, and we had sex for several hours. I love him. Now my friend has told me that the Pill don't protect you for two weeks! So has my night of passion made me pregnant?
A: No. If you started the Pill on the day that your doctor told you - that is, on the first day of the menses - you would have been protected immediately.
Handjob transmission?
Q: I am 18, male, and sexually inexperienced, Doc. My father is American, and last month he took me to New York for the weekend. There was a party at his apartment. Somehow, I ended up having a 'handjob' from a beautiful older woman. Could this give me VD?
A: Most unlikely. It is very rare for purely manual contact to give anyone a sexually transmitted infection.
Bleeding troubles
Q: Two months ago, my mother encouraged me to have the contraceptive injection, because she was afraid that I would get pregnant by my boyfriend. But from I had the jab, I have bled every single day. Help!
A: Unfortunately, the commonest side effect of 'the shot' is 'menstrual chaos' - including heavy bleeding. And regrettably, once the jab is in, it is in! No one can take it out again.
However, the effect of the injection will start to wear off in a month's time. Until then, I suggest you use a hormone tablet, which a doctor can give you, to stop your bleeding.
Email questions to Doc at firstname.lastname@example.com and read more in the Outlook Magazine tomorrow.

Maybe that is why he has two major winners and the world No 2 in the Masters field, and why he earned the industry Oscar, the UK Coach of the Year Award, in 2010.
The latter is presented by Sports Coach UK as opposed to the cosmetic version handed to Colin Montgomerie at the BBC's Sport Personality of the Year gala. Cowen smiled at that. So did Monty, who was acknowledged for leading, not teaching.
Cowen brings 30 years of golfing nous to Augusta this week, and a 'made for the Masters' shot that he believes is central to the prospects of his front line warriors, Lee Westwood, Graeme McDowell and Louis Oosthuizen.
"Success at the Masters is all about controlling ball flight. With the wind swirling about in the trees you have to be able to control the distance of shots. If you can't do that it is impossible here," Cowen said. "I remember Nick Price saying that he struggled at the Masters because he could not hit away from flag. You have no option here. The one-bounce check with a wedge is the shot for Augusta. You have to hit the right part of the greens and you don't want to be screwing it sideways. We have worked for hours and hours and hours on that, controlling the flight into the greens."
Mastering technique is fundamental but arguably only half the battle in elite sport. The key is delivering it under pressure. Impossible is trying to pick a winner on the range, where tour pros make balls come off the club face like tracer bullets. When it is time to go, shoes have turned to concrete along that short walk from the putting green to the first tee at Augusta. And then the starter calls out your name.
"It's called stage fright," said Cowen. The lack of it is one of the attributes he most admires in McDowell. "Nothing panics him. His desire is unbelievable. One of the things I really love about G-Mac is that he is very comfortable in uncomfortable situations. Lee is exactly the same. Some shrink under pressure, others grow. These boys thrive in that environment. It's very impressive."
They also respond to each other. Cowen explains how McDowell's run to the US Open Championship at Pebble Beech last year was in part inspired by the rise of Westwood. "The week before Graeme won at Pebble we were sitting watching Lee on the Sunday at the St Jude Classic. Seeing Lee win that day in Memphis really inspired Graeme. He was saying, 'Pete, I've got a big one in me'. Four weeks earlier in Madrid he questioned what we were doing. He asked if it was right. I said that I believed it was. He hadn't had the results he wanted. They are all impatient these fellas. They all want to win so badly. He played great in Madrid, finished fourth, won at Celtic Manor a week later and then the US Open."
A month later, Cowen saw Oosthuizen give one of the great links displays at St Andrews, beating back the hooley blowing off the North Sea to claim the Open Championship. Westwood's rise to world No 1 in November iced the Cowen cake. But there is still room for a cherry. Might that be a first major for Westwood at Augusta? Cowen does not root for one above another of his A-listers. He does, however, believe Westwood is ready. His career momentum is reflected in his world ranking (two). Cowen attributes Westwood's rise to the association made with sports scientist Steve McGregor a tip from David O'Leary who worked with McGregor when manager of Leeds United 10 years ago.
"I think Steve's stuff is as important as any. Getting him into shape so that he can stay strong has made a massive change to Lee being able to keep his consistency. The swing starts with the legs. If you work from the legs up you can get your arms into position to deliver the perfect shot. It all has to match up and the fitness has to match what you are trying to achieve in the golf swing. People don't see how much Lee works on that side of his game."
Westwood speaks a lot about patience at Augusta, about not chasing the game. It is a strategy that Cowen believes is the one most likely to succeed, despite the evidence to the contrary supplied by Phil Mickelson last year.
"Mickelson was the luckiest man alive. All the way from the eighth to 13 he was poor off the tee. He made unbelievable pars at nine and 10. There is no accounting for what the other player is going to do. Mickelson would not have hit that shot out of the trees at 13 had he not had two green jackets. The back up that gives you is important. He's thinking 'I've got two, let's have another'. Others would be more cautious.
"Lee's approach is to keep knocking on the door and it will open. You can be too brave around Augusta. Mickelson got away with it. His eagle, eagle, birdie on Saturday afternoon can't happen every year."
Caddie Billy Foster and Westwood had the run of Augusta a week ago, slipping a couple of practice days into the schedule before Houston, where Cowen caught up with the team. Today they head back to Augusta with the war paint on. "Lee loves it here," Cowen said. "Augusta is a special place. He was leading in '99 and last year. He knows how to play it and he has the right man on the bag. He's got every chance."

Leoni Mahanta is currently working as a Trademarks Attorney with Amarchand & Mangaldas & Suresh A. Shroff & Co. (AMSS), Gurgaon. She graduated with a B.A.LL.B. (Hons) degree from National Law Institute University, Bhopal in 2009. She then went on to pursue Masters in Intellectual Property Rights and Technology law from National University of Singapore and has thereafter worked with two boutique IP law firms, initially at ZeusIP and then at Lall, Lahiri & Salhotra.
In this interview she talks about:
- Law school experience at NLIU and NUS
- Work experience at ZeusIP and Lall, Lahiri & Salhotra
- Work as Trademark Attorney with AMSS
How would you introduce yourself? Please tell us a bit about how you gravitated towards law.
Hi, I am Leoni Mahanta and I am currently working as a Trade Marks Attorney with Amarchand & Mangaldas & Suresh A.Shroff & Co. (AMSS), Gurgaon.
My maternal grandfather was a very big name in the legal fraternity of Assam. As a child, I would hear his great courtroom stories, the stature he enjoyed in the society, and that inspired me to become a lawyer so that I could carry forward his legacy.
Please tell us a little about your law school days at NLIU? How were you at academics?
The 5 years I have spent in National Law Institute University (NLIU), Bhopal, are indeed very close to my heart and the whole experience has a major impact on who I am today. Studying at a National Law School gave me the opportunity to interact with the cream crowd of the country. Being a part of the competitive environment at NLIU, I became a goal oriented person at a young age. I was an above average student with a decent CGPA and I actively took part in extra-curricular activities as a core member of Gender Justice Cell and Access to Justice Cell and was involved in UNDP funded projects. My reading was not limited to class-room notes and course materials, and I would read from books which helped me to understand the basics. The purpose was not to cram up the course material to score high grades but to understand and enjoy what I was studying.
Most importantly, one of the key highlights of my law-school years was travelling all over Madhya Pradesh and beyond, getting to know the culture and enjoying the hostel life with my friends. There was always so much to do – exams, projects, presentations, extra-curricular activities – and coping up with the trimester system taught me mechanisms to multi-task, all of which are now helping me being an associate at AMSS and still maintaining work life balance.
How important do you say is a good CGPA for an illustrious career in law?
Good CGPA is definitely very important to be noticed by a potential employer and in securing admission for higher studies at top law or business schools. However, for an illustrious legal career, the marks you have scored in law school exams have no role to play. I believe we should choose to work in the field which interests us, be sincere and honest in our attitude towards all the assignments we are involved in, be it big or small. In short, if we love our work we will naturally put all our efforts and would want to be updated with latest legal developments which in turn will reflect in the quality of our work.
How do you think internships are beneficial to law students?
Internships give students the opportunity to experience the practical aspects of law and provide exposure to a professional environment that a law school may not otherwise be able to provide. I would advise law students to intern with Non-Governmental Organizations, National Commissions, Litigators, Corporate Law Firms and as Judicial Clerks so that they can have a fair idea of different practice areas and can gain clarity of what they would want to pursue as a career. Internships also provide great platform to refine legal skills, learn your strengths and weaknesses and to network with legal professionals who may prove to be mentors in finding jobs in the future.
After your graduation, you went to pursue Masters in Intellectual Property Rights and Technology law from National University of Singapore. How would you describe your experience as?
Yes, pursuing higher studies was always the plan! I was not mentally prepared to start working right after law school. I felt it was too soon. I wanted to go out in the world, experience different cultures, meet new people and become more independent. Though I was offered Scholarship by Kings College London, I chose National University of Singapore (NUS)because of its global approach to education and research, with a focus on Asian perspectives and expertise. Also, the University is considered to be one of the best in Asia offering diverse course modules which are taught by the professors from the top most universities of the world.
Studying in Singapore was a life changing experience. Living in a different culture, interacting with people from all over the world helped me discover myself, break down my stereotypes about many things and see the world in new ways. The LL.M. gave me the opportunity to make great friend, meet new professionals and build invaluable relationships with peers from around the world. Also, NUS organises regular professional networking gatherings which helped me to develop networking skills. I also had the opportunity to intern at Drew & Napier LLC which is one of Singapore's leading and largest law firms. This experience taught mecross cultural skills and provided an international professional exposure.
Pursuing an LL.M. abroad may not be a good idea if you are expecting it to be a means to getting a job abroad or top law firm in India. But personally, I believe that studying and living abroad contributes to overall development of one's personality, preparing to adapt to unfamiliar environments and improve interpersonal skills as a result of interacting with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures.
After completing your LL.M, you came back to India and started your career at a boutique Intellectual Property Firm. How would you describe your experience working at boutique firms?
I worked in two boutique IP law firms, initially at ZeusIP and then at Lall, Lahiri&Salhotra.Working at these firms proved to be beneficial as from the very start of my career I got the opportunity to work directly under the supervision of the Partners, work on wide variety of matters due to less compartmentalisation of work, take more responsibilities and directly communicate with clients. Working in boutique set-ups helped me to gain more control on the practise, become responsive and develop management skills.
Currently, you work as an Associate at AMSS. What prompted you to make this choice and how is your experience so far?
Working at AMSS was a natural choice as I was looking for varied and challenging work and it is the best platform to experience the cream legal work in the country since it has diverse range of clients comprising world's top business houses.
Working at AMSS is a very fulfilling experience. The people that I work with are some of the brightest and most insightful people that I have ever met. AMSS has a very women friendly environment and the firm takes various initiatives for the well-being of the employees.
What kind of work and responsibilities does an associate at AMSS deals with? What should a student do so that he gets placed in a prestigious firm like AMSS?
Work and responsibilities of Associates at AMSS differ from team to team. Personally speaking, I believe that if one is sincere, good at work and takes initiatives then opportunities aregiven to work in wide range of matters and take more responsibilities.
The general notion is that one should be amongst the top 10% of the class for campus recruitment in AMSS. I joined AMSS as a lateral joinee and can only comment on the basis of my personal experience. I believe that a good CGPA is important but AMSS also considers if the candidate has a good grip of the work he / she is doing and the general attitude towards work. AMSS appreciates candidates with well rounded personality and good inter-personal skills. My advice to the prospective job seekers is to develop strong base in their practice area, be honest with the interviewer and develop the spirit to be nothing lesser than the best. Recruiters can read your mind 🙂
Last but not least, what's next for you?
Every day I go to office as if it's my first day at work with the determination to prove myself and be better than yesterday. I believe the doors of great opportunities will open up if I continue to be true to myself and my work.
